Derbyshire Garden Centres, reviews, pictures, opening time

Derbyshire is famous for its beautiful dales area and rightly so. But it also has an excellent selection of garden centres and plants nurseries.

The largest garden centre in the county is Derby Garden Centre run by the Blue Diamond Group with a turnover of nearly £5.5 million in 2013. Next largest is Dobbies in Chesterfield with a turnover of £5.2 million. Many smaller garden centres in Derbyshire contribute hugely to the diversity of plant retailers.
